  • In this video we're exploring more Japanese gourmet home delivery food spots

  • So in the last video we explored all these different gourmet food spots, all throughout Japan and I had so much fun.

  • Trying it out and introducing it to you. I wanted to do another video and luckily all throughout Japan.

  • There's many phenomenal restaurants that deliver directly to my door

  • Which makes staying home that much easier something to note though

  • This in Japanese is called otoriyose, which means gourmet home delivery. It's not that combini food. It's food

  • That's high-quality

  • And it comes at a little bit of a higher price tag

  • Which is almost like getting caviar delivered to your front door

  • so before we start if you wanna help support the channel check out to hold my miso merch if you want to see what I'm

  • Doing on the daily check out my Instagram account. And if you have any questions about Japan check out my discord community

  • So without further adieu bring on the gourmet goodies

  • Number one me katsu and tomorrow Sandow from Roman

  • I didn't have to travel so far because we're staying in Tokyo in Hachioji

  • So today we're trying the new katsu Sando and at tamago Sandow

  • so this place is a jazz bar in cafe in hachioji, and it's been around since

  • 1957 and supposedly they make some bomb-ass

  • Katsu sandwiches as well as egg sandwiches. So first of all, let's open this nakatsu-san dough

  • So it's funny in Japanese. People say Sando instead of a sandwich cheese

  • So check out all these layers you can see how thick it is compared to my hand

  • That is so thick the first thing you notice is how many layers of pork slices you have to go through

  • It's like a milky sandwich. There's actually loads of fatty pieces in here to just give it just a little bit extra flavor. Damn!

  • Hmm

  • That is amazing

  • It's the way they actually cook it is a take it out of the fryer then they put it into a pan and they cook

  • It with some sauce with like a so you base and it is delicious the flavorings. It's not too sweet. It's not too salty

  • It's just like right in the middle

  • it really accentuates just the meat itself and how its kind of like, um

  • Probably some mayonnaise in there who doesn't love mayonnaise mayonnaise

  • Me and white bread with a crust cut off can't get better than that

  • And so this is the next

  • sandwich and see it's kind of like mochi mochi and then you just kind of like squishy this egg is oh

  • That is a straight-up egg, that's a flavorful heck

  • It's very much like a souffle like egg, you know

  • I was expecting maybe a thick dense egg because it's just so big but it's nice and light. It's not too salty

  • It's actually well balanced like you can definitely taste the mayonnaise in there. So I like it. Hmm

  • Since we're at home, and we can pretty much do whatever we want. This is

  • now a

  • Double-decker it's not gonna fall because I am a professional eater. I do this for a living

  • guys ready for this

  • Egg in cut this I know what a beast. That's actually pretty delicious. It's hard to fit all in your mouth

  • But just I have a pretty big mouth. No problem. Number two did in de Chocolat from Cafe Lake Oh collage

  • Hope that's right. This one is also from Tokyo Kagurazaka, which is also known as petit paris

  • Meaning that it's a highly competitive area for French restaurants

  • the shop itself is a popular French cafe here and their specialty 13 de Chocolat this you would almost think

  • that you are getting like a Medal of Honor coming from this box or maybe kind of like

  • I thought a watch is nice but a medal of honor like only so many, you know

  • Like if you do something nice for your country and like you you're very brave, they give you like a medal of honor, okay?

  • I think I'd rather get a watch

  • Anyways, it looks like like a premium-grade a top of the food chain top quality

  • Box, so this here is the chocolate cake to win them all and apparently this cake

  • Itself was cooked in a convection oven and then it to cook it

  • They used some steam in order to like preserve which this isn't even a word moist the moist goodness

  • You're gonna in fact this like center bit right here

  • It's not supposed to be fully cooked and it's supposed to just be like melting almost

  • It should be like ganache

  • Here's a picture right here that they sold on the website. I've cut another piece right there

  • You can see that it's a little bit more

  • Melty thick fudgy loveliness right there. Let's take a bite of this centerpiece

  • Can you eat the one that's already cut?

  • I wanted a good one Oh, oh

  • That's so good that is so rich and delicious

  • It's almost like having like straight punch like a melty fudge creamy day texture of chocolate. There's no cake in here

  • There's no like fluffy bready textures to it. It's just a straight-up chocolate

  • It's not that sweet though, but it's like so rich said like it hits the back of your throat. It's so good

  • I feel guilty for having each and every single bite. This would be good with some coffee or some milk. Hmm

  • More like one of my favorite chocolate cakes ever

  • I wanna eat it with vanilla ice cream

  • We have ice cream sandwiches, let me try it

  • So this is kind of like the beauty of being at home. You can justify it whatever you want and this combination

  • Is like Uncle right? All right, let's try this

  • Oh my god, that's good. I feel like I'm in heaven right now. Can we move on to the next one?

  • spot

  • Three Yamagata you gave from saga Seneca. So I ordered the special meat dish from saga

  • sandy cool all the way from Yamagata prefecture

  • So this spot delivers a three?

  • Beautiful packages of red dye meat thinly sliced so I got this special meat dish from saga

  • Hey, Nico

  • The guy uses less marbled meat as they believe that Hammami is best

  • concentrated in red meat when eating raw before we try it gotta add their special sauce and then as an option one of my personal

  • Favorite things to do is to top it off with a beautiful

  • Yellow raw egg yolk. And if you want it's also recommended to use a shredded vegetables like apples or cucumber

  • Look at that look at all that sauce and the soaked up egg. Yolk, baby. I like it, raw

  • Baby, I like it raw. Oh

  • Nobody knows that song

  • It actually really smells like Korean barbecue

  • That meat is so tender you definitely taste like a soy sauce base to it

  • But it's also mixed in I believe with Vicey Korean missile called coach udon

  • It is delicious. And then just with that egg yolk. It just gives it a nice gooey texture to it

  • The meat itself is really soft and tender

  • I wouldn't say that it melts in your mouth, but I don't really have to chew so much

  • It just kind of goes down really really easily since it is raw you do get a little bit of sashimi

  • Texture if you like sashimi then you'll definitely like this. In fact, you'll find that this is one of the more popular

  • Appetizers out of like a Korean barbecue restaurant. I

  • Know like it was funny because in the last video I also did some raw meat and a lot of you are like yuck

  • I would never try that. That's

  • disgusting a lot of people don't realize is that in Japan the quality of meat and fish is really high and

  • Since it's so high, it's really safe to eat even brah and so a lot of people just saying

  • Oh, that's discussing or probably coming from the perspective from their country

  • Like it's really dangerous to eat raw meat but in Japan, it's really safe

  • And in fact, it's a freaking delicious and just to show you how safe this really is

  • They even have like a proper

  • certificate here that shows like how fresh and

  • Inspected this meat is this is not your fast food place. This is straight up Gor Gor my boom

  • boom boom boom boom boom

  • Number four yo, and I gyoza set from PI don't so this next one hits close to home here in Tokyo

  • It's in de Dabashi area. So this is a Chinese restaurant called pyrin but more than a restaurant

  • It's more of like an izakaya a drinking restaurant

  • so people come here have some drinks eat some Chinese food and

  • Namely gyoza, but truth be told I already had some of this gyoza

  • He actually ordered it about a week ago and I just couldn't help myself. I had to try it

  • So this one is gonna be more of a review but I liked it so much that I had to include it in this

  • So look at these lovely

  • Morsels right in front of me. Basically, we have four different types. And today I've actually cooked it in two different ways

  • This one here is the pan-fried style. And this one here is a steamed style and you can see

  • Or you can smell the goodness on this plate not only are the colors different on the skin

  • But the ingredients inside each one is different as well

  • Let me start with one of my favorites and it's actually these black ones right here

  • This one is the pan-fried one as you can see right there dip it in a little bit of soy sauce

  • You've actually put some vinegar and some rye. You kind of like a spicy oil.

  • Wow the oils of the meat are so good

  • What sets this one apart as you can see that's like a full piece of garlic right there. Mm-hmm. Mmm. Goodness

  • The meat itself is quite sweet

  • It does have a little bit of like kind of like a peppery spice to it

  • But more than anything you can really taste the garlic in here

  • Not just like if you take a bite and a big piece of garlic

  • But the meat itself has a very overwhelming garlic taste which for those garlic lovers is a perfect and I love garlic

  • In fact, it's really different to your kind of say Japanese gyoza, which has got like a thinner skin

  • This one has kind of a really really thick skin. It's a little bit chewy. It's very mochi mochi. Oh, man

  • I'm loving this and then we have three more to go

  • So this one is probably my a second favorite here this red little hitter

  • I'm gonna actually eat it with some rice this time. But yeah, take a bite of this

  • Hmm

  • Yes

  • And this one is quite interesting also because it almost tastes like it has this red paste to it

  • Like a very hot spicy red paste in there the more I eat it. It could actually be my favorite one

  • I'm starting to like this one more and more

  • It has some red peppers scallions in there to think about some bits of pieces of garlic. It is quite spicy

  • Maiko was actually pretty surprised when she had this and she said wow, this is really really spicy

  • I'm like, yeah, I can do it, but I am sweating me so

  • What was your favorite? Garlic and Cinnamon

  • Garlic and Cinnamon

  • Hey, don't tell him okay, since she said it

  • So this one looks like just your regular gyoza pan-fried hot sticker, but it's actually cinnamon flavor

  • Hmm, you can see all like the cinnamon powder all up in there

  • It's almost like a dessert gyoza something you would get at Disneyland kind of like a cinnamon bread, and I've never had

  • Gyoza before that actually has cinnamon

  • So it's quite an interesting take on it and the final one the Ninja Turtle gyoza. Which can you guys guess what's inside this one?

  • So this one here is nieta flavor so you can see it has these little bits of nita very ordinary

  • But at the same time insanely good what a joy

  • All right, bring on the next one and number five Kaizen sanshoku dong from guro. No, Yoshi

  • so this next one we're traveling all the way to a he made which has some of the

  • freshest fish in the world

  • the restaurant itself has more than

  • 53 years of history and has more than

  • 22 shops all over the judoka and Shikoku area and the fact that we're able to order the food have it delivered

  • Directly here makes me just so happy. Look at this a beautiful

  • Sensation this is called a Sun shokudo meaning three types of fish on a bed of rice

  • So you get these three packages the Otoro, which is fatty tuna

  • and then you get this salmon roe which is known as

  • Kuta and then you get that Looney which is a sea urchin

  • basically

  • You get a hundred grams a hundred grams in the sea urchin is 70 grams and it's just a so

  • much food, like literally I probably recommend to split this up between two people and you know,

  • We have to start with the fatty. Tuna give this old total just dip it in some soy sauce like that

  • You can have it in sashimi style if you want. I put it on a bed of rice

  • Let me just have the rice and look at the head I had the rice is just falling apart

  • That's brilliant, you can just taste all of the oils coming off that fatty tuna

  • you can see the oils just gold sitting right there and like the marbled the fat inside with a

  • Red fish it literally just melts in your mouth. That is amazing. Like just this alone is worth it. And you know what?

  • I just can't wait. I'm just gonna have all of it all at once because it's just so good

  • You can do whatever you want

  • This is my life. And I'm gonna live it the way I want to in the way I want to right now

  • Is it all this in the spoon?

  • Oh, sorry. I'm just getting so excited. Just take a bite of this fully packed spoon

  • The fish it's so fresh it's so

  • Smooth all the different flavors from the oak Toto the salmon roe and the sea urchin just combined

  • It's like a triple turned into a home run

  • This is amazing

  • The fact you're supposed to actually use white rice

  • but instead it almost looks like

  • Again, my butt what Maiko and I do is we take our white rice and we mix it with this packet right here

  • It says Jew

  • kuku my and it's basically kind of like a mixture of different seasons like gives it this kind of

  • Reddish color and and just has additional kind of grains to it makes it a little bit healthier than just white rice

  • The thing is I've put some soy sauce on it, but there's just so much flavor here, especially from the salmon room

  • You really really don't need any soy sauce at all. Maybe just like a little bit Matt is just so good

  • I feel like they've like marinated the salmon roe so it gives it all of this flavor without any soy sauce
